LBO - Day 99, Lunar Hornet Moth


Well here's something I wasn't expecting to see this morning! We stepped out of the front door to begin our walk and immediately found a lunar hornet moth on the ground! I took it into the garden and put it on to the willow tree. A first for me, and something I'd long hoped to see. The second species of clearwing in the garden this year. 

It's been a good weekend, I've had two additions to the lockdown garden list (is that still happening?). Yesterday morning I had a hobby over the garden and in the afternoon a linnet on next doors aerial. I've seen hobby over previously but linnet is a full blown garden tick.
